MARKING-POT.

SPECII ETIGA'I'ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,361, dated June 28, 1887.

Application filed July 29,1886. Serial No.209g197. (ModelJ To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, J OSEPI-I BOYLE BOOM. I ER and WALTER STROWGER, subjects of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, and both residents of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario and- Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Tank- Feeding Marking-Pot, of which the following is a specification.

IO Our invention relates to improvements in marking-pots in which a tank or reservoir is introduced, from which a supply is drawn by the person using the same as necessity requires, which results in, first, a saving of the paint :5 used; secondly, protects the paint from dust, dirt, and other foreign substances, and also from thickening; thirdly, a saving of the brushes used in connection with the pot;

fourthly, a certainty of cleanliness, by reason of the water-tight and airtight tank or reservoir and the sluice-gate, which is not secured by any other'paint-pot now in use. \Ve attain these objects by the design illustrated in the accompanying drawings hereto annexed, illustrating the section, side view, and end view.

Letter E of the section refers to the tank or reservoir, which'is air-tight and water-tight,

A being the screw-cap covering the inlet to this tank. a

0 F is the auxiliary tank, which is separated from E by the sluice-gate D, which is raised when paint is required in the auxiliary tank F from the water and air tight tank E, and then shut down when the supply required is 5 obtained.

G is a well in the auxiliary tank F, into which the brush is introduced while it is in' use; The bottom of this well G is perforated with holes to allow the entering in of the paint from the auxiliary tank Fafter it has been obo tained from the air and water tight tank E.

H is the handle of the paint-pot,.used to carry it about or hold it whilein use; I, aring attached to the handle H; G, a ring attached to the top of the sluice gate D, by which the 1.5 sluicegate is raised or shut down.

B is a spring on the top of the tank for holdingthe paint-brush when not in use.

We are aware that prior to our invention paint-pots have been made with twotanks. We therefore do not claim the union of two tanks in one paint-pot as ourinvention; but

I What we do claim as ourinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The union in one paint-pot of a wate-rtight and air-tight tank or reservoir, E, by means of the sluice-gate D,-with an auxiliary tank, F, in which there is a fountain or well, G, as herein shown and described.

2. The combination of the inlet to the air and water tight reservoir E, covered by the screw-cap-A, and the outlet of this reservoir regulated by the sluice-gate D.

3. The sluice-gate D at the union of the two tanks, substantially as shown, for the purpose 6 specified.
